AI Summary
This bill aims to further regulate the trapping of fur-bearing mammals in Massachusetts. It proposes amending the existing law to require licensed trappers to follow the "Best Management Practices" guidelines approved by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. This would allow licensed trappers to possess the equipment recommended under those guidelines. The bill also requires the director to provide trapper training courses to certify licensed trappers on the effective use of box, cage, and conibear-type traps for fur-bearing mammals, including beaver or muskrat.
